On CBS' Wednesday drama "Criminal Minds," Shemar Moore plays FBI Agent Derek Morgan, one of the FBI profiling team that heads out each week from the Behavioral Analysis Unit at Quantico, Va., to hunt down killers -- usually serial killers.

With the current debate raging about the effect of on-screen violence on incidents of real-world violence, "Criminal Minds" would seem to be a natural target of the anti-violence, anti-gun movement.

WHO WE ARE

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Criminal Minds Round Table. When we were positing names for this blog, and Sir Bedivere suggested Criminal Minds Round Table, we knew immediately that was the perfect name for our blog.

It fit in so many ways.

Many fans, and Ed Bernero (Criminal Minds' former Showrunner and Executive Producer) himself, compare the show and its characters to The Arthurian Legend and the Knights of the Round Table. Mr. Bernero even went so far as to say that he knew that the stories had to be “Arthurian” to appeal to the most people. The team meets to brief cases at a round table, and there are many parallels between our BAU team and the Knights and other Arthurian characters.

In addition, a Round Table discussion is what we want to have here about any and all topics Criminal Minds-related. In a Round Table discussion, each participant has equal status and equal time to present views. And finally, since this is going to be a group effort amongst a group of Criminal Minds fans, we are going to take turns around the table, with each of us posting about the show, our favorite characters and our favorite actors on the show.
